Find Joy in Your Weight Loss Journey, Not Just the Destination

Psalm 16:11 “You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever.”James 1:2-4 “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.” Here are a few ways you can implement this this week: Keep a gratitude journal during your journey. When we focus on the good, and you HAVE good, we forget about our struggles.Celebrate non-scale victories: energy, less screen time, earlier mornings, time with Jesus, physical strength, energy, clarity. More water, more steps, looser fitting pants.Create joyful routines: worship walks, prayerful meal prep. Jesus jams in the kitchen or workout room. Lord, I don’t feel joyful in my weight loss journey, but I want to. I desire you, I ache to let you lead Father but I struggle with perfection, with people pleasing, with thinking I’m unworthy. Heal these thoughts Father and show me what You need me to see. Thank you for joy, thank You that You are with me always. Lord, I want to find joy in each step, will You teach me how? Help me see your goodness in the process Jesus, not just the outcome. Amen.Are you sick of trying diet after diet and NOT losing weight?Hey there friend, I'm Lindy Schlabach, Christian Fitness & Nutrition Coach.
